    Does anyone here know a good paid legal site to watch premiership games (if there is such a thing). I have been looking at a few that require you to pay per month or whatever. I am just wondering could someone recommend a good quality one rather than paying and just being directed to bad steams from justin.tv or sopcast etc.

    Have been using it for 3 months now and would recommend it. £6 for 2 months is great value.

    This is the reason I still haven't subscribed. It's matches like tonight's, when there'll be ten times as many people using streams that I want a reliable one that I'd pay for.

    The setanta one on eircom is a decent stream, never cuts out. The only problem is, the 300kbps one is inferior quality to most 300kbps streams through the likes of atdhe.net, and the 800kbps has very good picture quality but the sound is terrible, so bad that I have to either mute it or watch the low quality one.

    I've tried all the myp2p, sopcast, veetle streams and these days it's harder to find a reliable one. The best option I've found is to use a low quality veetle stream.

    Picture quality so far has been at least as good as the best non subscription stream going. If that makes sense ? Usually its a bit better though.

    In terms of stability - once it loads (takes a couple of seconds) it never stutters or goes down. Its totally smooth.

    Surprised by that - theyve shown every Liverpool game so far. I'd have a look just before the kick off as they might change the schedule.

    this isn't quite true.

    Streams are like Pirate Radio Stations.

    It's ok to pick them up, but not ok to broadcast them

    http://www.flashsportstreams.com/

    That's a cracking website.

    I haven't missed a Sunderland game on there in two seasons and they stream SS1, 2, 3, 4, SSN, ESPN UK and USA, Fox Soccer Channel and Fox Soccer Plus, 24/7.

    Doubt its ok to pay someone operating an illegal service broadcasting them though

    What do they stream it on? veetle/vshare etc? Does it not get taken down?

    The V-Share stream provided on ADTHE, rarely gets taken down. Quality is average.

    Yeah I know but I was just curious to know how much people were getting ripped off by. £2 by comparison is pretty good, providing the streams are decent.

    Normally i find a decent free stream, are these paid ones 100% reliable?

    Apart from watching Iraq Goals**, if you have the Sky Sports package (and wish to watch them when away from home), you can do so at http://www.skysports.com/video/tv/0,25316,1,00.html

    **It doesn't matter if you pay for it: watching streaming TV is pretty much illegal in Ireland and the UK, IIRC.

    Did someone mention in another thread you could view a sample stream?

    Can't see it on the website anywhere

    Edit, sure for 6 quid, what they hey, signed up for the game tonight.

    Just a note for people experiencing pausing/connection issues on the the free streams.
    If you are using the newer Eircom Zyxel router and are streaming via wireless, that's probably the source of your problem there.
    WLAN on those routers is brutal, I always make sure i'm hard wired and I generally don't have any issues at all.

    If hard wired isn't an option, get yourself a set of these...

    The network will run over electrical wiring in your house.

    Anoter option if you know someone with a sky subscription is sky player on the PC.

    You can stream any sports channels you own for free. I use the one from my Mam's sky subscription and find it very good. You can register up to 4 computers, but can only watch one at a time iirc

    Sounds good, would you rate the quality as better/worse/same as sopcast streams?
